Too Much Data, Too Little Intelligence
Africa's security threats demand sovereign solutions. Cameras multiply while threats move faster, traditional approaches are no longer enough to protect African organisations.
Blind command
Across African borders, bases, and critical sites, cameras record but rarely identify. Commanders see footage after the fact, not while it still matters.
of breaches go undetected
Slow response
Foreign cloud pipelines and ageing VMS stacks delay alerts. African operators need on-continent intelligence that holds under heat, dust, and load-shedding.

Foreign dependence
Sending video offshore clashes with POPIA and African sovereignty. Bonisa keeps AVA-X under African operational control.

Our Solutions
Different operational situations require different solutions. Bonisa Defence covers the entire security workflow, from real-time detection and forensic analysis to controlled access management.
01Sentinel Investigation
Sentinel Investigation supports investigators and analysts in the post-event analysis of large volumes of video and image data. Persons, vehicles, objects and events are correlated across multiple sources, accurately, transparently and in a legally compliant manner.
02Sentinel Live
Sentinel Live analyses video streams in real time and detects security-relevant events at an early stage. Operators and response teams receive immediate alerts to enable targeted and timely action.
03Sentinel Access
Sentinel Access enables reliable, privacy-compliant identity verification and biometric access control in sensitive environments. The focus is on control, traceability and compliance, without media or system discontinuities.
04Analyzer (Modular Platform)
AI-powered text intelligence that extracts meaning, entities, and threat signals from unstructured language so teams act on clarity, not noise.
05Custom Model Training
Bespoke computer-vision and detection models trained on your cameras, sites, and risk profile, so your teams act on outputs they can trust.
Where We Make an Impact
Bonisa Defence supports law enforcement agencies and operators of critical infrastructure in identifying relevant information from video and image data, in real time and during post-event analysis.
